Sisko: We're so glad to see so many of you lovely people here tonight. And we would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Section 31 that have chosen to join us here in Quark's at this time. We certainly hope you all enjoy the show. And remember, people, that no matter who you are and what you do to live long and prosper, there are still some things that makes us all the same. You. Me. Them. Everybody. Everybody.

I need this in my life now.

[–] armus@startrek.website 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You'll never get Worf and O'brien out of those high payin gigs

[–] canis_majoris@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

I just want somebody to walk up to a replicator and order four fried chickens, a coke, and dry white toast.

I think Star Wars memes might have a claim to Blues Brothers...

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Here's a fun fact:

Carrie Fisher wasn't actually cast in Blues Brothers. Her part wasn't written into the story.

She just showed up on set and did all that batshit insanity on her own, and they ended up putting it all into the movie.

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

John Belushi shorted her on her cocaine. Can't blame her.

[–] armus@startrek.website 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought he snorted cocaine off her, your version makes more sense

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

That's a non-zero chance you're right.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

When John Belushi tells you you're doing too much blow, you should probably listen.

[–] Stormygeddon@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago

yep, checks out

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait. WHAT?!? Fuck, man, why have I never seen that movie.

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You should really watch the movie.

You promised the Kai you'd include her in the memes
Yeah, so I lied to her
You can't lie to a Kai, we gotta include her in the memes

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It's funny that holding the kai title automatically makes you a war criminal

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can't forget about Lower Decks!

[–] JWBananas@startrek.website 9 points 1 year ago

Like they said, TNG.

[–] leave_it_blank@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's unfair. There was also DS9, YOY and ENT. And that was the last Trek to exist.

[–] Kleinbonum@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Funny, given how much people hated ENT at the time. It was a good show, but the CGI has aged poorly.

[–] leave_it_blank@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It's not that bad, but it definitely shows it's age.

I decided to watch Babylon 5 again a few weeks ago, that CGI has really aged poorly! Holy shit!!

[–] armus@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been watching it for the first time recently, the CGI is sort of as expected, but that theme song brings tears to my eyes hah

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just wait for it to become tense on season 3. They should have changed the opening.

[–] armus@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One of the openers in season 1 has one lizard guy drilling into another lizard guy's brain / eyeball, and then cuts right to that song, that was quite the transition hah

[–] teft@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Ah, the suliban repo man. Silik got what he deserved.

[–] Blamemeta@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Our standards have dropped. Its like Star Wars prequels, they were bad, but hot damn they're gold compared to the sequels.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago

This comment makes me angry for a couple of reasons.

[–] canis_majoris@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've never seen my two favorite things combined like this before. Thank you, this is incredibly hilarious and I love it.

[–] verity_kindle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Same here, you maniacs brighten a cold, dark, rainy day. I would drive into the city clerk's office with any of you.

[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 6 points 1 year ago

We have both kinds! TOS and TNG

[–] Lauchs@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can I ask how you made this? I'd love to be able to add my own text to animated gifs!

[–] armus@startrek.website 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I made the clip by cutting the mp4 from the movie to the length I wanted with vidcutter, then used ffmpeg on the command line to convert it to a gif. If you're on windows I'm thinking the gif would be simpler to make, then I used gifntext dot com to add the captions. If you get stuck I can try making your gif for you

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

you know I never thought to ask how it's done, and seeing you show a way to do it has made me realize I need to ask people how they do stuff more

[–] Lauchs@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks! I'll have to give that a shot and see what I come back with. Much appreciated!

[–] armus@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

No worries, if you have any trouble or anything I'm happy to help. Looking forward to seeing your sick shitpost!
